Astor’s Playroom is not just a Game, it is a full-blown platformer that not only showcases what the Dual Sense controller is capable of but also welcomes the users to the ecstasy of the history of PlayStation.
Lowdown on The Dual Sense Controller
Probably the best developed aspect of the PS5, the section where the developers make their most finest work is the DualSense and Astro’s Playroom makes its best effort to demonstrate it.

Reliving the Eras of the PlayStation Universe
Apart from merely being a PS5’s complement, Astro’s Playroom is a big love for the PlayStation lovers.

Pleasing and Responsive Controls
Any well designed platformer would require the players to have fast and precise controls and Astro’s Playroom does not shy away in this regard. The character of An astro has very smooth controls, which also feels great since the in-game environments are exquisitely crafted to make maneuvering around them a breeze. As you traverse the various levels, whether jumping across islands, avoiding adversaries, or engaging in various challenges, the controls remain flawless and fully functional.
Originality in the Level of Gameplay

Besides the interesting saddle-free movement controls exhibited in the game, there are interesting challenges presented in the form of fully utilizing the features of the DualSense by tilting the controller or employing the touch feature of the controller. These especially enhance the gameplay and enable the game to avoid the status of a simple tech demo which is often depicted by Astro’s Playroom.
Dual Sense Controller: More Than a Controller, A New Way of Playing
Of all the features of the new PS5, the DualSense controller is the most impressive and is put to the most excellent use possible in Astro’s Playroom. The haptic technology, adaptive triggers, and built microphone enhance the gaming experience to a level that previous consoles would not have achieved.
Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers
The haptic feedback in Astro’s Playroom isn’t just the usual rumble that was available on controller devices in the past. The vibrations are also adjusted according to various parameters like the type of surface that the character is walking over e.g. sand, metal, ice etc. which makes the game more interesting and realistic. Owing to this when for example, sand is walked over by Astro, the controller vibrates in a gritty fashion but when it is ice, the controller vibrates in a slick manner.
Likewise, an astute observation was made concerning the nature of the adaptive triggers. Regardless of whether it is the act of pulling back on a bow or a spring suit, the triggers elicit some form of physical feedback making every motion more active.
A Display of the Feedback’s Next Generation
It is worth mentioning, that this game is also a remarkable visual game for the PS5 stealthily hiding the creative use of the DualSense controller as its primary focus.

Looking around the setting one cannot help but notice an array of little specifics; whether it is a reflective surface or a character or an object – everything is expensive in cuteness. Even the usage of ray tracing which improves how other surfaces and lighting look has been incorporated within the game.
There are several factors that determine the graphically intricate game on the PS5 and Astro’s Playroom does not rank on that level. However, the design level and the overall detail put into the game makes the game visually appealing. Colors similar to these, moving figures and wonderful out looking games add up to a game such that the whole game seems lively and full of character.
What is next in store for Astro Bot?: Origin of a PlayStation’s Mascot
Though the adventure started as a bundle game for the PS5, it’s apparent it’s here to stay on the PlayStation; if the potential that is embodied in the next-generation console is anything to go by. By making an entry in the game ‘Astro Bot: Rescue Mission’ on PSVR, the character has already received a warm welcome and with him moving forward, it is clear that Sony intends to use him as the face of the PS5.
Given the massive popularity of Astro’s Playroom, it is a safe bet that the franchise will continue to evolve with other Astro Bot games, probably going towards larger scale, more ambitious games. Indeed, PlayStation remover may be used as comparators where it is expected that the characters develop themselves where they eventually decide what steps should be taken next.
